Directions: |
Directions:Using a food processor or coffee grinder, grind the oats into a very fine powder. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir the blended oats with the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In another bowl, using a hand or stand mixer, cream the sugars with the butter until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
With the mixer speed on low, slowly add the dry ingredients in 2-3 additions, beating until just incorporated.
With a sturdy rubber spatula, mix in the chocolate chips, grated chocolate and chopped nuts.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the frig for 2-3 hrs. Chilled dough will prevent the cookies from spreading in the oven.
Preheat oven to 375º. Cover sheet pans with parchment paper.
Using a large cookie scoop (about 2 T) drop balls of dough onto the sheet about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 9-11 mins until the edges look set (centers may still look under done). Cool cookies on the sheet for 5-7 mins and then carefully transfer to a cooling rack.
Continue baking batches being sure to return unused dough to frig b/w batches.
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
